However, it is reasonable for Zhu Qu to be so cautious.

If it was in the past, Zhu Qu might not care about the consequences at all, because the Jiangdong clan, including him, had never put Fang Jun's doll in his eyes. Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan clan, which is not just a boast. After hundreds of years of operation, the Jiangnan Shi clan has already built Jiangnan into an iron pass, intertwined up and down, and the power of the Shi clan has extended to all corners of Jiangnan.

Even if Fang Jun received the emperor's will to go south, it was "obeying the orders of heaven", so what?

In this acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River, you have to lie down if it is a tiger, and you have to coil on a dragon......

That's why several scholars dared to unite to steal the wood of the water master, because even if it was discovered, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it would be a big deal, if there was real evidence, Fang Jun, how dare you?

In fact, stealing wood is a cover-up and stealing the bell, not only the Jiangnan Shi clan knows, but even Fang Jun is not difficult to guess who the thief is, but what can he do if he knows?

If you don't have evidence, you won't dare to touch me!

But once the timber is shipped out, it's easy to get caught. It takes a lot of manpower to transport so much wood at one time, so it is naturally impossible to hide people's eyes, and if Fang Jun detects and tracks it down, it will be a little troublesome......

Fang Jun occupies the orthodoxy in the end, and these woods belong to others, you steal other people's things and are caught red-handed, and then your arrogance will be weakened by three points, so this batch of wood has been hidden in a secret place and has not been disposed of.

When Fang Jun exerted his might in Niuzhuji and brutally slaughtered the dead soldiers of various families, the Jiangnan Shi clan gritted their teeth and hated, but also couldn't help but feel jealous.

This thing is a ruthless character!

Therefore, in addition to spreading rumors to Fang Jun behind his back, the families also discussed, and let the batch of wood rot and never alarm again, so as not to leak the news and be caught by Fang Jun. Although the price of this batch of wood is expensive, the purpose of the major families is to add blockage to Fang Jun, and do everything possible to dissipate his enthusiasm for building a port and forming a sailor to prepare for the construction of the city.

Even so, when Zhu Qu heard Lu Xiaoyu say that this widow named Ji Shiju was willing to pay twice the price to buy wood, his heart still couldn't help but tremble.

If the stolen timber is sold on the spot in Jiangnan, it will be worth no less than 300,000 yuan.

If it's doubled......

Zhu Qu's eyelids jumped, and his hand pouring tea paused slightly, and then said casually: "Xiaoyu is really joking, there is no wood in a certain hand." ”

Lu Xiaoyu and Ji Shiju glanced at each other, and said with a lonely expression: "Brother Zhu is really cautious, he still can't trust someone Lu...... I thought about it at the beginning, but Lu impeached Fang Jun above the court to prevent him from going south, and this is where he is today, but he doesn't want my Jiangnan clan to still treat me as an outsider...... Anyway, if people's hearts are separated from their bellies, who can see who clearly? Today, if you haven't been to the door, let alone said anything, don't say anything! ”

With that, he stood up and left.

Ji Shiju had no choice but to stand up and follow behind Lu Xiaoyu, but he inevitably complained about Lu Xiaoyu's impulsiveness in his heart. This batch of timber is obviously not easy for these guys to use and sell, and they are worried, so why not persuade them to get rid of their vigilance?

just left, and the task assigned by Fang Jun was yellow......

Zhu Qu was embarrassed by Lu Xiaoyu's words.

As Lu Xiaoyu said, his official position and even his entire life can be regarded as losing for the Jiangnan Shi clan, and the culprit is Fang Jun. Although I am afraid that Fang Jun will catch the sore feet of this wood, Lu Xiaoyu and Fang Jun are mortal enemies, how can they reveal the news to Fang Jun from him?

I'm a little too cautious......

Immediately stood up quickly, and bowed to the angry Lu Xiaoyu: "It's Zhu who lost his words, and I hope Xiaoyu won't be surprised." What filial piety has done for everyone, everyone naturally knows it, how can you not see you as a member of the Jiangnan Shi clan? ”

Lu Xiaoyu sneered in his heart, he knew it?

The end of knowing is to take the opportunity to swallow dozens of warehouses and shops of the Lu family all over the south of the Yangtze River, a group of dogs with human faces and beast hearts!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xiaoyu, who walked to the door, turned around with a solemn expression: "It's true that Lu is impulsive, and I hope Brother Zhu won't blame him." It's just that this transaction is too important to the Lu family, and they will be reckless and unscrupulous. I only hope that Brother Zhu will look at everyone's love for many years and pull the Lu family along! If there is a way to buy wood and help to draw a line and build a bridge, the Lu family is grateful. ”

Ji Shiju's eyes rolled, and he also saluted: "This mission is entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is extremely important for you. As long as there is enough wood, pay it immediately in cash, and hope that Zhu Jun can help. ”

Bow at ninety degrees.

The fat on Zhu Qu's face trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Look at what the two said...... It seems that Zhu can help but deliberately doesn't help...... In this way, Zhu must be careful, as long as there is a large amount of wood on the market, immediately help the two of them contact, how about it? ”

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Xiaoyu arched his hand, said a few words of goodbye, then pushed open the door and opened the oil-paper umbrella, walked into the rain curtain side by side with Ji Shiju, crossed the courtyard, and went out.

Seeing that there was no one near the left, the heavy rain was pouring down to drown out the voice, Ji Shiju complained: "Why is Lu Jun so impulsive? That Zhu Qu is obviously duplicitous, as long as he is a little patient and persuasive, he will definitely agree. ”

Walking around, not caring at all about the rain wetting his shoes and socks, Lu Xiaoyu smiled: "He can't agree, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't be the master." ”

Ji Shiju came to his senses and said, "That's right! This kind of thing is obviously not something he can do alone, so he naturally has to discuss with his accomplices before deciding. ”

"Hehe," Lu Xiaoyu smiled self-consciously: "The discussion is certain, but it is not just to discuss whether to sell this batch of timber to us, but to discuss whether to take advantage of Fang Jun's arrival and launch the relationship to make another profit!" ”

The wealth is moving, such a huge amount of money, even the Jiangnan Shi clan is impossible not to be moved!

Ji Shiju was taken aback: "You mean that these people will still steal the wood of the Hou Ye?" ”

Lu Xiaoyu walked slowly, squinting at this widow, wondering how this thing seemed to be dead to Fang Jun? Could it be that there is still an unknown relationship between these two?

"Definitely!" No one knows better than me how greedy these people really are, how can they put the huge profits in front of them and not take a bite? A bite will not be satisfied, you have to swallow the meat with the belt to satisfy their greedy hearts! ”

In fact, when he said this, he himself was reflecting.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lu family was moved by the promises of other scholars, why did they have to bite Fang Jun to death in the court?

Greed is the original sin......

*****

After sending Lu Xiaoyu and Ji Shiju away, Zhu Qu reflexively returned to the tea table, poured a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it for a long time, and his mind was spinning quickly, confirming whether the purpose of Lu Xiaoyu's trip was really to get wood.

Thinking about it, Zhu Qu couldn't think of a reason why Lu Xiaoyu and Fang Jun colluded to trap everyone......

600,000!

The Zhu family was hairpins in the era, rich in the southeast, but they have never seen so much cash! Like Fang Jun, he sold his house and sold it back for more than one million yuan at once, it was just like a fantasy, Zhu Qu couldn't even dream of it!

As long as this batch of timber is sold, you can get 600,000 yuan, Zhu Qu's heart is about to jump out of his chest, he has never done such a big business in his life! What's more, that Fang Jun has not yet come to Haiyu Town, because of the information of Niu Zhuji's victory, the sailor's defense is becoming more and more lax, if he takes the opportunity to do it again......

Zhu Qu couldn't sit still.

Whether to sell or not, whether to do another vote or not, is not something he can decide.

Immediately called the maid to change her clothes, asked the servant to prepare a waterproof tarpaulin carriage, and then wrote a few letters in his own hand, and ordered the servant to send them to each house as soon as possible, and ordered them to go to the county government to discuss together.

Zhu Qu drove out of the house and arrived at the official office of Haiyu Town.

There were no people on the streets, and the raging torrential rain seemed to have pierced holes in the sky, and it was pouring down that could not be stopped. The blue peaks in the distance are blurred in the rain, and the charm of the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River is gone, leaving only the fury and boiling that pervades the heaven and earth.

Zhu Qu's heart was hot.

Stealing the wind doesn't steal the moon, stealing the rain doesn't steal the snow......
